I’m just listening to this episode and I’d like to suggest someone for you to speak to on your tour — what’s the best way to get in touch?

I’m very much here for the Drumcondra cherry tomato bridge.
Welcome!
Big congrats!

You can zip a zap, but you can’t zap a boing.
Nigel Farage and Elon Musk are plotting to take over Britain.
This saga exposes the nonsense poison of right-wing populism - claiming to stand for the 'little guy' against the elite, while going cap in hand to plutocrats.

NEW: Porsha Ngumezi is the fifth case we've reported on in which a woman died after not receiving a D&C or its second-trimester equivalent in time, or at all.
Her case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.
I’m really into trees, birds and walking. It’s something I got into during lockdown, and which now plays a big part in my creative process. Last year I wrote an essay on nature, bilingualism, and decolonisation, which you can read here: aphroconfuso.mt/davinia-hami...
I have a cat, Kali. She’s 7 years old, and very antisocial. I’m the only human she tolerates. She is also called: Kloofi, Smoosh, and LilBebbyKitty.
I’m originally from Malta. I left when I was 23 to do a Masters in Digital Media in Dublin. A year later, I moved to London, where I have lived since.
Let’s do this.
